Especially as 3,000 of them probably never left the box <g>  The letter
becomes another part of the rare collectable set, proving that this was from

Dick, you mean like in every single movie shown and scattered throughout
almost any magazine?
I thought it was a positive article on Leica, certainly.
One interesting snippet was the quoted 4000 letters of apology that went to
early M8 owners. That's a little insight into sales
figures.

Cheers
